>should be judged on the quality of his stories
You meant the decade long nothingness where Miles did not ever become anything more than "black Spider-Man"?

It was over before it started. They’re not passionate starving people writing heroes anymore, they’re ungrateful RICH adults giving gifts to their spoiled children.
You shouldn’t want a hero to “look like you”, a hero should be an ideal to strive for no matter what ethnicity.
I wish they could just abort this whole shitshow like the ~~*executives*~~ undoubtedly encourage people to kill their own babies
Blade unironically did in the early 2000s but Marvel didn't capitalize before Blade Trinity screwed the pooch.
Let me rephrase that: they weren’t popular enough among NORMIES to affect any change. You know these woke writers only want to replace the cream of the crop to make their messages loud and unavoidable. Those other heroes, as well-written as they may be, were never going to be the leaders for the MCU.
All they want to do is grab your attention, then force you to concede to their demands. Nothing heroic left in Disney at all.
Nobody wants C-List tokens. They want to be A listers.
Look, when a white kid sees Blade, they say "Cool!" When a black kid sees Spiderman, they say "Why does he look different than me :("
>the character should be judged on the quality of their stories rather than on his appearance or ethnicity
But would they even be saying this if not his ethnicity? Hell would Miles even have the push he has without it?
Not gonna lie, I thought that whole mission was surprisingly scary when I was a kid. >in the cutscene Eddie is mumbling incoherently as some jogger passes by and gets eaten by him
Anyone who still wants Parker is a moron. Miles is a hundred times better than some entitled prick who occasionally threw a punch in between pity parties.
>publicity stunt to attract more readers
Because that's exactly what it was. >"oh shit, nobody cares about Ultimate after Ultimatum killed the interest in the universe and artist change killed the additional interest in the Ultimate Spider-Man book. Quick, let's catch everyone's attention by killing off our most popular hero in that line"
legitimate question, does miles even have any decent stories that aren't based around him asserting/proving himself as spiderman or him constantly being propped up by another existing, more popular character. I don't think I've seen anything to do with him that didn't involve him or another character saying how good of a spiderman he is and how important it is that he is spiderman even if the conversation didn't make any sense from a in-universe standpoint. even spiderverse, movies with what I think are decent for their visuals alone, are a very tongue in cheek 'miles can be a spoderman even if he doesn't conform to YOUR standards of one!!!' thing, as if the reason people don't acknowledge him as spiderman is entirely because he doesn't meet some weird suffering quota.
like I'd judge him on his own if he could fricking stand on his own but I don't think he actually can.
I don't know much about Miles. Does he have a "Great Power" moment where he suffers from being irresponsible, and that makes him change his attitude? Because his uncle being a criminal makes you not care.
No, shit just happens to him. Semi-related note: I hate spider-Gwen in these movies. She’s just a stupid gender bend that serves as a weak live interest, and barely even that because “gurl power”
In the movies she even sucks at girl power thing, considering she never really has any memorable fight scenes of her own.
She's just there to be there.
I'm glad DC never pushed a black Batman onto everything Batman related ever, they really shoved Miles up people's anuses by giving him the spotlight on everything outside comics

hell naw did you SEE that ridic new costume
I can't identify with a character unless they look like me.
Then you’re an antipathic moron that doesn’t understand conditional hypotheticals, and lord knows there’s enough of those running the shows.
What's crazy is Marvel had plenty of pre-existing black heroes at the time
None of them have enough star power to prop up themselves as the new woke saviors
Blade unironically did in the early 2000s but Marvel didn't capitalize before Blade Trinity screwed the pooch.
Blade Trinity is kino.
Snipes going to jail for taxes was the problem.
It was all the ~~*leeches*~~ plan, man. I am telling you.
Storm, Black Panther, Luke Cage Hero for Hire, Blade, Falcon, etc

Thanks for proving my point.
I can identify with a character who not only looks like me but is nothing like me at all.
Miles Morales is shit and will always be shit.

No.
The reason Cindy Moon isn't in your face in every movie, cartoon, video game, etc is because she's korean. Not half black.
Oh yeah, that was a major selling point. Was the venom gameplay as disappointing as possible among everything else in that sequel?
From what I saw, Venom was nowhere near as fun as in Ultimate, so yes
HUNGER
FEEEEED
>mfw a kid with a Spider-Man balloon
Not gonna lie, I thought that whole mission was surprisingly scary when I was a kid.
>in the cutscene Eddie is mumbling incoherently as some jogger passes by and gets eaten by him
I can’t believe they fricked that up. He’s one of the blackest heroes out there, he literally needs chocolate to calm down
Spider-Man did so much in the first decade of his run compared to the decade Miles has been around for.
>"The fact that you hated your favorite character getting replaced shows we needed to replace him"
What a crock of shit lmao
Anyone who still wants Parker is a moron. Miles is a hundred times better than some entitled prick who occasionally threw a punch in between pity parties.
nice bait
trips of truth
Ethiopian son
OH NONONONONO

Really? Because Cinemaphile won't shut the frick up about him.
They have a good reason not to

It’s like watching someone hire nepo babies to star in your films.
